Nova Launcher Celebrates 5 Years with Major Update to Version 5.0

One of the most popular Android launchers, Nova Launcher is now exactly 5 years old. In order to celebrate the impressive milestone, developers have decided to push a major update that brings lots of new features, but also some improvements.

The update has already been pushed to Google Play store and it’s now available to all Nova Launcher users, not just to those using the beta version of the Android launcher.

Among the most important new features included in the update is the ability to swipe to open drawer. This new gesture command has been exclusive to Pixel Launcher, but starting today it’s available to Nova Launcher users as well.
